DCA Average Price Calculator
Add each buy at its price and size to get your weighted average entry, total units, and total cost. Use it to plan averaging down on any crypto.
Averaging down lowers your average entry but adds money to a losing position. If the asset keeps falling, the position can still lose value. This shows your cost basis, not whether the trade will work.
How the Average Price Is Calculated
Your average entry is a weighted average: each buy counts in proportion to the units it bought, not just its price. Add the cost of every buy (price times units), add the units, and divide total cost by total units. A large buy at a low price moves the average more than a small one.
From manual averaging to a DCA engine
Doing this by hand on every dip is exactly what a DCA bot automates. TradeArmor places staged buys with size multipliers and an EQ-price gate so deeper buys only fire below your lowest unsold leg, the same logic this calculator helps you reason about.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate my average DCA price?
Multiply each buy's price by the units bought to get that buy's cost, add up all the costs and all the units, then divide total cost by total units. That weighted average is your average entry price. This calculator does it for you across multiple buys.
How does averaging down lower my entry price?
Buying more at a lower price pulls your weighted average toward that lower price. How much it moves depends on how many units you add and how far below your current average you buy. Larger, lower buys move the average more.
Is averaging down a good strategy?
It can lower your average entry during a dip, but it also adds more money to a position that is currently losing. If the asset keeps falling, an averaged-down position can still lose value. Averaging down manages your entry, it does not remove market risk.
What is an EQ-price buy gate?
It is a rule that only allows a deeper averaging buy when the price is below your lowest unsold buy, not just below your average. It stops a bot from averaging down carelessly. TradeArmor's DCA engine uses this gate and matches ProfitTrailer's EQPRICE logic.
Can TradeArmor automate DCA buys for me?
Yes. TradeArmor's DCA engine places any number of staged buys with configurable spacing, size multipliers, cooldowns, and the EQ-price buy gate, so averaging is automated and rule-based rather than manual.
